When I mentioned this to my vet, she said that there were people who thought that early spay/neuter would affect the growth and result in a leggier dog, she wasn't totally convinced that she agreed with it. She didn't say she had never heard of it, just that like lots of things, some vets believe it and some don't.
I have always had males before but I never waited. This time I am getting a female and I am not sure that I want to find out what having a female in heat involves - so regardless of the outcome, I will probably have her spayed between six and eight months and save myself some money.
